One Breach Is One Too Many

Protect Your Data in the Era of WikiLeaks

Your information is at greater risk than ever as evidenced by recent high-profile breaches that involve the theft of proprietary data from large organizations.

Many security teams are focused on preventing targeted attacks, but keeping the bad guys out is only one part of the strategy. Malicious and well-meaning insiders can also potentially steal and leak valuable intellectual property.

Anatomy of a Data Breach

Many security teams focus solely on stopping targeted attacks, but keeping the bad guys out is only one part of the strategy. Here we outline the three sources of a data breach – well-meaning insiders, malicious insiders, and targeted attacks – and the four phases of a targeted attack.

Targeted Attacks

Driven by the rise in organized cybercrime and the growing black market value of information such as bank accounts, credit card numbers, and personally identifiable information, targeted attacks are increasingly aimed at stealing confidential information from employees and corporations. In fact, more than 90 percent of records breached in 2008 involved groups identified by law enforcement as organized crime.²

There are four phases of a targeted attack: incursion, discovery, capture, and exfiltration.

Phase 3: CaptureExposed data stored by well-meaning insiders on unprotected systems is immediately accessed, and the value of that information is assessed.

Phase 4: ExfiltrationConfidential data is sent back to the hacker team either in the clear, wrapped in encrypted packets, or zipped with password protection.

A targeted attack on confidential data can be defeated at any one of these four phases. What can you do today to prevent a data breach in your organization?
